Awesome congrats!! Are you in summer or winter? My Muscovy's aren't even laying we're in winter.

Thank you

We're in winter but since my birds are locked up because of the bird flu so i think that might be the reason .. My muscovys are not laying yet maybe because i didn't have enough space to house them too ..

African and Chinese geese are pretty rare in our country but i finally could find someone who has African geese

I hope you get a good hatch. Goslings are so much fun.

My Muscovy's have never mated or laid in winter They take the late fall through winter till early spring off.

It's such a joy watching mamas and their babies.

My muscovies are about 4 1/2 months old now. They're always the last ones to go in the coop at night so I did a little experiment the other day. After I chased all the turkeys in and gathered their eggs, I set them on the ground where the scovy girls could see them. I swear, their eyes lit up lol. I'm not sure that they even know what eggs are yet but they were definitely mesmerized by them lol. I have a feeling that both girls will be sitting pretty quickly after they start laying. I know they're known to be good mothers but are they aggressive mothers? Should I fear for my life lol

They are protective that is for sure. But I always say while having one latched onto my skin "who's the boss here?"
